Alright! You found it. She says "to" when she's handing me something. When I first heard it, I did think it was something either hard slang or insulting in some way (I didn't know her well the first time I met her which was on a boat in Alaska). It is really short for "tomar" or "toma" which means "take". They pronounce it like a nasal "ta" ("a" as in "father", but kind of closer to an 'o' sound, but it's harder to hear when you first hear it with an American ear).

I'm thinking it's easy, but then again, that might be a trick. Does it have to do with science?

Not sure if I'm going to really guess beyond this as I want to have a real clue as to what to do next time. Last time, my wife walked into the room to hand me something and gave me the idea. Seemed easy at the time, but forgot about my inability to be clear and the difficulty of the problem itself. Seemed good in my head though.

Not intentionally tricky...just slightly cryptic.
Q: Does it have to do with science?
A: Not exclusively
Geuss I was just on at the right time I'm gonna be busy for half the day so I better pick a tough one....

nevermind got one that's good enough for here.

This pioneering zooligist took on a field of anthropology, but sadly what most of you will remember about her is purely "mist".

you have corrected it in the sig... you should leave it as a reminder that sometimes the treasure will mess up.. .plus if I mess up in the future I can point at it and say "see, someone else did it too" ;p
